Michael Jordan Says He Would Take Adam Morrison Over Kobe and LeBron

Michael Jordan said in an interview with NBA TV yesterday that, if given a choice, he would take Adam Morrison over Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.

Widely considered the greatest player of all-time, Jordan said it would be a tough choice between the trio. However, Morrison's combination of rings and youth would tip the scales in his favor.

"Kobe has five titles and that's impressive, but he's getting a little long in the tooth," said Jordan. "LeBron is a lot younger, but he only has one. I don't really like either choice. What I like is Adam Morrison. He has two championship rings and is just as young as LeBron. Easy choice if you break it down. He's a good mix of Kobe and LeBron."

Jordan took Morrison with the 3rd overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft, just one of the many disastrous player personnel moves he has made in his post-playing career — and one which contributed to the state the Charlotte Bobcats are in today.

But Jordan scoffs at any suggestions that picking Morrison, who last played in the Turkish League in 2012 and left the team due to lack of playing time, was a mistake.

"I don't make mistakes. Never have, never will," said Jordan. "And you saying I did makes you look stupid. Adam has two championships rings. More than LeBron. More than Patrick Ewing and Charles Barkley. More than John Stockton and Karl Malone. As many as Hakeem Olajuwon. I don't think I need to go on … but I will. Adam has played for four different teams in three different countries. He's gotten tryouts with two other teams. If he's so terrible, why do so many teams consider him? Huh, dumbass?"

Morrison said he really appreciates the continued support of Jordan.

"It means a lot coming from someone like him," said Morrison, gesturing in Jordan's direction and then handing a plate with a sandwich on in to the legend. "I cut the crusts off just like you asked, Mr. Jordan. If there's not anything else you need at the moment, I will go finish cleaning your pool now."
